I use persil sensitive low suds & huggie sensitive fabric softner & throw them into the dryer. With some of the clothes & linen I've brought for my son, I've washed as usual but just before baby comes I'll do a rewash with just napisan. Probably wont use our normal powder until he gets abit older, My chillies are prone to a bit of eczma.]]> Wed, 13 Aug 2008 21:24:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19792&PID=466946&title=prewashing-babys-clothes#466946 <![CDATA[pre-washing baby’s clothes : I hardly ever use the dryer...I...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19792&PID=466428&title=prewashing-babys-clothes#466428 Author: Roksana

I've washed all of bubs clothes in Eco Store washing powder using only half strength. Also have Lux Flakes

Can't remember where I read it but said that you should not use enzyme based washing powders/fabric softners for newborns as there skin is too sensitive to handle these types of things and can also contribute to nappy rash etc.

As they get older and there skin toughens up you can use those type of products

Would still prewash woollen knitted clothes unless you know where the wool has come from and how it has been treated. Gentle hand wash and lay out on a towel to dry and keep there shape.]]> Wed, 06 Aug 2008 11:47:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19792&PID=461064&title=prewashing-babys-clothes#461064 <![CDATA[pre-washing baby’s clothes : my sil recommended lux flakes...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19792&PID=460289&title=prewashing-babys-clothes#460289 Author: kmarie

When V was little i bought the napisan baby care (white pack) and used normal powder. i think i was using ecostore at the time.

Now i use ecostore or a special one mum got me from malaluca (SP?) that smells so nice & is so safe from harsh chemicals etc.
I used Fabric softener on his clothes & always washed them in a warm wash. Normall wash our clothes on cold. Now his clothes get thrown in with ours coz most of them are dark. But whites normall go on a warm wash. Just put a load of baby stuff through to fill up the load i had. Bubs due in 9 weeks or so. Deffinately prefer to wash them first for someone so little. Espesh coz most of his clothes have been in storage for a ocuple of years or used by someone else in the meantime]]> Tue, 05 Aug 2008 10:42:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19792&PID=459929&title=prewashing-babys-clothes#459929 <![CDATA[pre-washing baby’s clothes : I still wash my son&#039;s clothes...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19792&PID=459903&title=prewashing-babys-clothes#459903 Author: Shorty

It can ruin wool over time.

I've pre-washed all baby's clothes using the Ecostore powder ... love Ecostore products

I just washed them according to instructions which generally seemed to be a warm/cold wash.]]> Mon, 04 Aug 2008 13:33:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19792&PID=459011&title=prewashing-babys-clothes#459011 <![CDATA[pre-washing baby’s clothes : I washed all DD&#039;s cloths...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19792&PID=459009&title=prewashing-babys-clothes#459009 Author: Roksana

I just used normal persil stuff, we use ecostore now though as its better for his cloth naps. I also bunged his stuff in the dryer for a bit to fluff it up when he was little, sometimes when they line dry they can be a bit stiff but 10mins in the dryer makes them nice and soft.]]> Mon, 04 Aug 2008 13:00:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19792&PID=458978&title=prewashing-babys-clothes#458978 <![CDATA[pre-washing baby’s clothes : I used Lux Flakes then Amolin...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19792&PID=458930&title=prewashing-babys-clothes#458930 Author: Maya

I used Lux Flakes then Amolin with Maya, and Next Generation or Ecostore with the gremlins but now I just use Persil Aloe and Chiara seems to be fine with it.]]> Mon, 04 Aug 2008 12:23:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19792&PID=458930&title=prewashing-babys-clothes#458930 <![CDATA[pre-washing baby’s clothes : I just used normal washing powder...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19792&PID=458923&title=prewashing-babys-clothes#458923 Author: Henna79

I've heard you should definately wash baby's clothes and blankets and stuff before they arrive. Just wondering what to wash them with though? Normal washing powder? Or sensitive stuff? What about fabric softner?
Let me know if you have any ideas!]]> Mon, 04 Aug 2008 12:11:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19792&PID=458909&title=prewashing-babys-clothes#458909
